Reynolds pleaded guilty to kidnapping, conspiracy to kidnap and home invasion charges.

Just as he did with the co-defendants, Trusock gave Reynolds sentences that run one-after-another with him serving 20 to 60 years on the kidnapping charges and then he will begin serving 10 to 30 years for home invasion.

Reynolds will be at least 53 when he begins serving his second sentence.

Prior to the sentencing, Reynolds tried to withdraw his plea.

“I'd like to have different counsel,” said Reynolds in the only statement he made in court.

Trusock rejected his plea that his defense attorney Joseph Tevlin provided ineffective representation and said Reynolds only wanted to withdraw his plea because he knew of the hefty sentence awaiting him.

Reynolds allegedly supplied his partners with masks, knives, gloves and duct tape and showed them where to find the couple, according to an arrest warrant.

They bound the woman's hands and feet and covered her eyes and mouth with the tape.
The trio drove the wife to a cornfield in Allegan County and Goree began to secure her to a phone pole when he ran out of tape.

When Goree returned, the woman had escaped and flagged down a trucker who called 9-1-1.

Back at the house on Navaho Court SW, the knife-wielding kidnappers told the husband that they wanted $200,00 ransom and left him a cellular phone number to call when he had the cash.

After the woman escaped, the trio ditched the car they had stolen from the couple and headed north, police say.

A few days later, Goree's girlfriend, and Blakely's sister, called police telling them that the two were ready to give up their story, according to court documents. Later, Reynolds, who the pair referred to as “Red,” was arrested.

Assistant Kent County Prosecutor Gregory Boer said the Bykers are out of the country and could not attend the sentencing. They have not been present for any of the court proceedings in circuit court.

Trusock said Reynolds told a pre-sentence interviewer that he believed he should get about 7-1/2 years in prison.

“This is one of the most terrifying circumstances I can imagine,” Trusock said to Reynolds. “You, sir, I believe are a threat to society.”
